Exceptionally clever reference in a film review (Dana Stevens, NYT)

[swag]

I think tigereye will spot this right away, as will memorious habitues of Vesuvio in San Francisco and certain scholars of Beat literature (oxymoron?). And most anyone able to search the Lounge archives.

"Film Geek" has a likable premise, an unusual setting in downtown Portland, Ore., and a pleasantly homemade indie feel. Unfortunately, Scotty Pelk, as written by James Westby and played by Mr. Malkasian, is actually so irritating, so genuinely hard to take, that like the rest of the characters in this semiautobiographical movie, we soon find ourselves itching to get away from him.

I'm going to email the reviewer and see if I'm right.

1. Forget it.

Temporary lunch insanity.

2. I got it.

Don't know what everybody's problem with Portland is though.

3. As with so many incurious idiots,

the Beats must have not ventured beyond the West Burnside Burger King.
